"Kaiba can be a real jerk sometimes," said Tristan, as they were driving to Kaiba Corp.
"Yeah, tell me about it," said Duke. "He can't even keep Serenity for one night. What did she ever do to him?"
"Absoloutely nothing," said Yami. They almost passed Kaiba Corp. until Duke stomped his foot on the break pedal, shoving everyone forward. Tristan nearly went through the windshield. Duke looked at him.
"Is it that hard to put a seatbelt on?" Tristan muttered something under his breath. As they got out of the car, Tea screams and pointed to the top of the corperation. Serenity was falling, fast.
"SERENITY!"
Immediately, the boys ran under her, to catch her. She ended up landing on Yami, who fell over in the grass. He grabbed her shoulder.
"Serenity! Are you ok?" Serenity looked up at Yami. They stared at each other for a long time. Yami understood. He spoke.
"I'm sorry, Serenity, but the freedom you were looking for, I cannot give." Serenity broke out in tears, hugging Yami tight. Duke looked down at them.
"What are you talking about, Yami?" Yami got up, pulling Serenity with him.
"Oh, she was just trying to be with her brother, that's all."
Tristen was shocked. "You mean, she was committing suicide? Serenity, why would you do such a thing?" He asked. It was Duke's turn to speak.
"Yeah, Serenity, I mean, your brother died a year ago, there's nothing do about that, so just get over-"
"ENOUGH!" Yami roared. His face was red with pure anger. He grabbed Duke by the collar, hard. Duke stood there, frightened. "HAS ANYBODY CLOSE TO YOU DIED BEFORE?" Duke shook his head, scared. "THEN, DON'T YOU EVER TELL REN TO GET OVER IT, EVER! NOW, GO TO BED AND LEAVE HER ALONE!" And with that, Yami let go of Duke, and walked off into the night, leaving the others standing there, Serenity thinking deeply.
"I don't get it," Tea said. She was in Yugi's room, talking to him. It was the next morning, and everyone else had gone home. Yami, however, did not return. "I've never seen Yami so angry. He looked like he wanted to kill Duke."
Yugi looked up at her. "Maybe he knows what death is like. I never asked him if anybody he knew died, or if he remembered. Even if he didn't experience a death, I agreed with him last night. Duke shouldn't be talking like that."
"And, I though Duke and Tristen liked Serenity," said Tea.
"They do care about her. But, they just don't understand. Things like that permanently damage your heart, and sometimes, your mind." He left Tea to think about what he said, and he walked downstairs for breakfast.
Duke walked out of his home, and sat on his porch. He felt like a total jerk after last night. He thought that he should go apologize. He stopped by a rose bush, and grabbed a red rose. He made his way to Serenity's house.
When he got there, he knocked on the door. He wasn't sure what he was going to say. Should he just say sorry for being a jerk last night? Would she buy it? Serenity opened the door. "Oh...hi Duke." Duke was about to say it, until he looked inside. Yami was sitting on the couch. Now it was Duke's turn to be mad. He faced Serenity.
"Well, I hope you two have a lot of fun," he said, and he slammed the door in her face. He continued walking down the street, feeling even sicker than before.
